Another bug fix, another 15 places gained ...

It still surprises me that fixing bugs gains so many places! I had a bug in my enemy wave generation because my bot lost its radar lock every so often for a tick. Fixed the radar lock and added gun heat tracking to stop other erroneous enemy waves being generated and my score increased around 2% APS! :o Unexpected! Made it into the top 100! Whooop!
Congrats dude! :-)
If you don't mind a suggestion, I'd forget fancier stuff and focus on high scores vs Head-On Targeting until you're crushing it. HawkOnFire and Barracuda are the classics - vs HawkOnFire, you get 97.48 while Diamond gets 99.73. Both get 100% survival, so that means he's hitting you almost 10x as much! I think something like that can only be due to bugs in your core surfing code.
